Unstringify JSON online: restore readable JSON

Unstringify JSON online to parse escaped JSON strings back into objects and arrays - nothing uploaded.

Unstringify JSON online when you receive an escaped JSON string (often with backslash-escaped quotes) and need a normal object or array again. Common in logs, queues, and double-encoded API fields.

How to Unstringify JSON online

  1. Open the Unstringify JSON online tool.
  2. Paste the escaped JSON string.
  3. Run Unstringify to parse locally.
  4. Copy the readable JSON - repeat if multiple encoding layers remain.

Unstringify vs format

Formatting pretty-prints already-valid JSON. Unstringify first parses a string literal into JSON. After unstringifying, use the JSON formatter if you want indentation.
